With a better trigger you will be surprised, along with match ammo. Welcome.

The amazing thing is once you get a fire going you don't really need to. I have smoked as long as 12 hours on a original load of charcoal. I usually can reuse the charcoal from the previous time at least once unless I am slow cooking. The little section in the center of the grate opens up so you can add it if you need it, but I use a ceramic smoking stone if I am smoking meat. A very flexible grill. My tower smoker gets much less use since I got it.

I have a “B” model with a clamshell forend might be interested in a trade of foreends. PM me.

Great Book on wood fire cookery from the country with more beef than any other. https://www.amazon.com/Seven-Fires-Grilling-Argentine-Way/dp/1579653545/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1512311713&sr=8-1&keywords=seven+fires+grilling+the+argentine+way

Thanks. My cow this year is really good. Actually half a cow. Now that our son is gone and we are older, a whole cow is too much. Benefit of living in the boonies, we are close to the source.

Complex. I just fired up the Akorn to 600 degrees, put a 2 pound sirloin rubbed down with olive oil, garlic and seasalt, rotated first side 90 degrees at 4 minutes to get grill cross hatching, flipped at 7 same thing other side. Perfect medium rare.

Got lucky!

Had screwed the buffer tube too far-in. Backed off one turn, Was still enough to hold the detente pin and spring down. Reassembled and it now holds the bolt back-on both the bolt catch and an empty magazine.

My “old” HBAR match barrel AR-15 is still going strong after 3,000 mixed 55, 62, and 75 grain bullets.I don't think your Dad had to worry. Still-shoots tight groups. Haven’t done many mag dumps with it though.

Sweet Sue has gotta be cousins with Ptomaine Mary.

All three are really nice, and Magwa’s Idaho is right up there. Wife is making noises about moving back there.

Try Kauai, my favorite island. Absolutely beautiful. This is the Queens bath. 28 people have died here from going in when the waves are bad.

Used to winter camp in northern Minnesota down to -15. Below that I said screw it and went into town hit the bars and rented a motel room. Used a Snow Lion Polar guard mummy. Still have two of them. Good to -10 when newer. If forecast for above 10F I used a Timberline rectangular one for comfort good to +5F. Still have them too. Last time I camped was three years ago in the BWCA. 14 straight years I took my son up there every summer. That is a good price on that bag though.

That reminds me of a scene from "Alien".

18F here this morning

The 308/5.56 BDC

Love it! Still learning to use it, most flexible optic I have ever had.

Nice Shepp! Now get asbestos carpeting.

No it doesn’t. I will get into it tomorrow, but I think I have the buffer tube screwed in one turn too many. If not I will do some troubleshooting and see.

It was 40 degrees, but a wind gusting up to 45 made it cold. Just felt good to get out to the range. First time since surgery on my ankle.

Havent looked at it in detail since I got home. Was too damn cold at the range to get into it. Will check it tomorrow and get back to you on that.

Welcome!
